Cloudify

Cloudify is open source cloud management and network orchestration software used by large telecoms, Tier 1 network operators, and other enterprises for multi-cloud automation, management & orchestration and network functions virtualization (NFV).

Cloudify is preferred by telecoms, internet service providers, financial services firms and others, because it helps get apps and network services to end users faster than anything else.

Since Cloudify is an open source, TOSCA-based cloud management platform, users don’t get locked in to any single technology or vendor.

Cloudify use cases:

Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) Cloudify has introduced a whole new way for telecom providers to virtualize and automate their infrastructure—quickly and efficiently. Using Cloudify, telecom providers can reach self-service provisioning at a fraction of the time and use their existing infrastructure to do it. Cloudify helps operators and OEMs perform a rapid transition from a non-virtualized appliance ecosystem to a virtualized one with full lifecycle management and orchestration.

vCPE & SD-WAN The Cloudify Open vCPE solution is ideal for carriers and vendors that are looking for a framework to build their own low-cost, software-based custom vCPE solution. Combining a network configuration framework, simple VNF on-boarding, and a multi-tenant service portal, Cloudify allows carriers to configure and deploy VNFs, build network service chains and on-board new VNFs in days, where previously weeks or months were required.

Service Function Chaining Cloudify, through its TOSCA blueprints, enables telecoms to leverage dynamic service chaining on any infrastructure—across data centers and clouds, and even environments built around heterogeneous technologies. Cloudify automates the formerly complex processes of deploying virtualized network functions (VNFs) to the cloud, chaining them, monitoring and managing them throughout their entire lifecycle, while providing scaling and healing out of the box.

Edge Computing In a world of countless data-generating devices, automation and orchestration are the only ways to control and coordinate the vast numbers of centralized and edge networks. Cloudify is the perfect orchestration platform for edge computing. Cloudify can be implemented both as a low footprint edge device orchestrator as well as a central datacenter orchestrator.

Containers & Microservices With service-modeling based on TOSCA, Cloudify is uniquely suited to the deployment automation and lifecycle management of containers and microservices with plugins for tools such as Kubernetes, Docker Swarm, and more. By providing clusters on demand, auto-healing and scaling at the infrastructure level, Cloudify now makes containers and microservices truly production-grade.

Cloud-native VNFs Cloudify, as the leading open source NFV orchestrator based on TOSCA, helps map the new VNF landscape—with its diversity of requirements from performance, placement, service function chaining, configuration and more—in order to build, deploy, and manage true cloud-native network functions across VIMs. The result is bona fide cloud-native VNFs, which are self-healing, auto-scaling, monitored, managed by policy, secure and accommodate multi-tenancy.

Cloud Orchestration (including hybrid and multi-cloud) Cloudify set out on a mission to create the best orchestration environment to help organizations nimbly deploy applications and drastically improve operational manageability and efficiency. The Cloudify Pure-Play Orchestration platform provides a generic automation engine that spans diverse tools, infrastructures and vendors. Developers can self-manage their application services while still sharing a centralized interface with IT leaders.
